The Effect of Different Tuber Sizes on The Yield and Some Agricultural Characters of Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.) Under Sanliurfa Conditions

Abstract

This study will aimed to determine the optimum tuber sizes (4-5 and 7-8 cm) and some agriculturalcharacteristics of Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa cv. ‘Double’) under the conditions of Sanliurfa inSoutheastern Anatolia of Turkey during summer growing season in 2019. The trial will arrange inrandomized complete block design with three replicates. In the study, besides phenologic observations suchas emergence date (14-22 days), days to opening of first floret (0-69 days), flowering period (0-163 days),vegetation time (213 – 240 days) and bulb harvest date (234-253 days); the plant height (24.20-56.72 cm),number of spikes (0-1 number/plant), number of florets (22.10-26,95 floret/spike), mature tubercircumference lenght (12.46-14.70 cm), number of tubers (10.33-18.66), new tuber sizes will investigated.JMP-SAS software will use for statistical analyses.
